No one thought there was anything wrong with Wen Dongrong's attitude towards Gan Tao.
Wen Dongrong is the "head of the family" at home, but this title should be removed from quotation marks when speaking to outsiders. Apart from Wen Ying and Chen Ru, the entire Wen family was built up by Wen Dongrong.
Wen Dongrong made his attitude clear, and only then did Gan Tao's family realize how much the Wen family recognized Gan Tao - just like Wen Ying in the Xie family, who first got the recognition of Xie Yuping, so naturally the other people in the Xie family would not look down on Wen Ying.
Today is the day when Wen Kai proposed to Gan Tao. Wen Ying and Chen Ru both gave Wen Dongrong a lot of face. The Leng and Gan families did not see at all that Wen Dongrong was just an empty show.
Zhu Meiqun and his wife are not good at speaking, so they let Wen Dongrong say all the polite words!
The restaurant was already booked, and the two families sat down to talk. Gan Tao sat between Wen Ying and Wen Kai, with a smile on her face that never stopped.
Mother Gan despised her daughter for being useless and secretly pulled Gan Tao's sleeve.
"Girl, you've kept this a secret from your family!"
Gan Tao is a person whose thoughts are written all over her face. However, she has been dating Wen Kai for several years and has managed to refrain from telling him about his powerful relatives. Gan's mother feels both resentful and somewhat relieved towards Gan Tao.
Being able to keep things to yourself is a real improvement!
Gan Tao could only giggle foolishly.
Wen Ying smiled and took over the conversation, "Auntie, if you want to blame someone, blame me. It was me who didn't let my sister-in-law tell her. Don't blame Brother Kai either. He didn't tell my sister-in-law before he started dating her."
How could Mother Gan blame Wen Ying?
"Teenage Idol" and "Starry River and You" made Wen Ying a bestseller in China, and the phenomenal success of the "Nine Cauldrons Series" catapulted her to global fame. While literary achievement is difficult to assess specifically, simply judging by book sales and the influence of her intellectual property, Wen Ying is undoubtedly a world-class bestseller. While Wen Ying may not be among the wealthiest of the wealthy, every penny she earns is tied to "culture," and her fame and status make her wealth seem particularly significant.
Aside from those very close to Wen Ying, even those who knew her from the past felt distant when speaking to her. This was especially true for Gan's mother, who was meeting Wen Ying for the first time. She hadn't even digested the shocking news that "Wen Ying was Wen Kai's cousin" yet. Wen Ying smiled and spoke to Gan's mother, leaving her feeling dizzy.
"Ah, no wonder..."
Mother Gan was somewhat bewildered. "In fact, we should thank you. If it weren't for your influence on Gan Tao, she wouldn't be as hardworking and motivated as she is today."
A good relationship makes people better, and so do good idols.
Gan Tao is lucky. She has found a good relationship and likes a good idol.
The more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she likes him. Gan's eyes were especially gentle as she looked at Wen Kai: "If it were any other scheming boy, they would have definitely catered to Tao Tao's preferences if they wanted to please her." Let alone a relationship as close as cousins, even if they were only distant relatives of Tao Tao's idol, a scheming boy would use that relationship to increase his leverage with her!
Wen Kai didn't say anything at all, but that wasn't a lie.
He didn't want Taotao to confuse love with idol worship, and he didn't want to take advantage of Taotao's weakness to deceive her.
Thinking about it this way, Wen Kai’s intention in not mentioning to the Gan family that he and “Fish Against the Current” were cousins was very good!
He wanted to gain the recognition of the Gan family through his own efforts.
Since Wen Kai's proposal was successful, Zhu Meiqun boldly brought up the matter of marriage while the elders of both families were present.
Wen Kai is already 29 years old. Isn’t Zhu Meiqun anxious?
Of course it’s urgent!
However, Gan Tao was still in school, and when Wen Kai said they couldn't get married, Zhu Meiqun suppressed her anxiety in her heart.
Now that Gan Tao has been working for a year and Wen Kai has successfully proposed to her, Zhu Meiqun is discussing with her future in-laws about putting the wedding on the agenda.
Zhu Meiqun and his wife were not as wealthy as the Gan family, but they also bought a house in Beijing with the down payment for Wen Kai.
In recent years, Zhu Meiqun and his wife have worked very hard.
At first, the couple ran one store, but later they each ran one store.
After making money, Chen Ru introduced some low-risk financial products to Zhu Meiqun.
Although selling fruits is a small business, Zhu Meiqun and his wife earned money and saved money at the same time, and in just a few years they had accumulated a considerable amount of savings!
The couple's financial resources cannot be compared with the Gan family, but there is no problem in giving their son Wen Kai the money to renovate a house.
In addition to the decoration money, money was also prepared for wedding expenses.
Zhu Meiqun and his wife will not let Gan Tao miss out on the necessary procedures for other people’s marriages!
Even if we can't get the best wedding banquets, wedding celebrations and wedding dresses, we will try our best.
Zhu Meiqun even thought about it. If the cost of the wedding exceeded the couple's savings, she would shamelessly borrow some money from her sister-in-law Chen Ru, and then slowly pay it back after Wen Kai's wedding was completed.
Wen Dongrong, Leng's father and Gan's father were still exchanging pleasantries when Zhu Meiqun laid all his cards on the table for everyone to see. It was totally unconventional.
But no one would think Zhu Meiqun was reckless.
A down-to-earth person like Zhu Meiqun is willing to give whatever he has in his pocket, and can even borrow if it's not enough... Even the most picky Mr. Gan was shocked by Zhu Meiqun's sincerity.
Such a mother-in-law will not treat her daughter-in-law badly.
Mr. Gan immediately said that marriage is a matter between two families, and the wedding process should be handled jointly by both families.
"I only have one daughter. She's getting married. How can I, as a parent, not contribute money and effort?"
Gan's father was willing to pay for the wedding. He even brought up the fact that Wen Kai wanted to buy a second house: "You go pick out a bigger house. Once you've chosen one, don't take out a mortgage. I'll pay the rest for you."
